Lenovo ThinkCentre 9488 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Symptoms of an ailing video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 9488 reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing fully

A Lenovo ThinkCentre 9488 video card is best purchased brand new for obvious reasons, including possible wear on any old video card that may occur. It is in your best interest to note the OEM part number before buying a video card replacement. Your Lenovo ThinkCentre 9488 will be happier for thinking before buying. Always get replacement parts from a known seller if you purchase through a website.
